\section{Introduction}
This document serves to report the progress that was made in the first few days of the
bachelor project. This will mainly consist of a smaal abstract from my Wiki\footnote{http://hbuisman.wetpaint.com/}, which contains more detailed and up to date info on my progress. The next sections present a small logbook and
a short summary of my activities.

\section{Summary}
After having already spent a lot of time on reading papers and getting to knwo the domain, I was able to start
focussing more on the problem at hand. The past days were mainly spent on project management activities:
making a detailed planning, writing a project description. Although it would have been nice to do these
things sooner, the fact that discussion with my mentor helped in clarifying the detailed issues
around this problem. The rest of my time was spent on specifying the rough outlines of the algorithm.
All details that were discussed were additionaly worked out on paper, so that they would not be forgotten.
